Today, we’re celebrating three members of our WPS family who make a difference in the lives of our students and in our school community every day!
✨ HS/MS: Lara Plumb — Middle School English Teacher
Mrs. Plumb is someone who is always willing to step up for her team. This year, she took on a big change by moving from teaching Senior English to Middle School English. She embraced the change with a positive attitude and has jumped right in to support her students and fellow staff. We’re grateful for her flexibility, dedication, and willingness to do what’s best for our students!
✨ Elementary: Brenda Hummingbird — Pre-K 3 Teacher
Our youngest Yellowjackets are lucky to have Mrs. Hummingbird! She brings so much love, patience, and dedication to her classroom each day. The care she puts into helping her students learn, grow, and feel loved makes a lasting difference. We’re thankful for everything she does for our little learners!
✨ Support/Admin: Shirley Kindle — Cafeteria Staff
Shirley may be new to our cafeteria team, but she has already become a wonderful part of the WPS family! In her first year, she has shown how hardworking, dependable, and positive she is—and she always seems to have a smile ready to share. We’re so happy to have her on our team!
Please help us congratulate Lara, Brenda, and Shirley! We appreciate you and all the ways you help make Westville Public Schools a special place to be. 💜
Our Pre-K 4 team is pretty awesome! They make learning fun while helping our little Yellowjackets build the skills and confidence they need for their school journey.
In Pre-K 4, learning happens through play, exploration, creativity, hands-on activities, and plenty of opportunities to learn how to be a great classmate. From learning letters and numbers to practicing independence, sharing, problem-solving, and making new friends, these students are building a foundation that will carry with them for years to come.
We’re so thankful for the energy, patience, creativity, and care our Pre-K 4 team brings to the classroom every day. They’re helping our youngest learners get ready to learn, grow, and thrive!

Today, some of our Juniors and Seniors stepped out of the classroom for Job Shadow & College Visit Day!
Our students spent the day exploring careers, visiting college campuses, and getting a glimpse of what life might look like after graduation. Some even chose to spend the day learning from teachers and staff right here at Westville!
We weren’t able to capture pictures of everyone, but we know our Yellowjackets were out there learning, asking questions, trying new things, and having a great time!
A huge thank you to all who welcomed our students and helped make today possible. It takes a community to help our students see what’s possible beyond the halls of Westville!
📸 Yellowjackets, share your pictures!
If you visited a college or participated in a job shadow today, drop your pictures in the comments. We want to see what you were up to!
Check out the schedule, support our students, and show your Yellowjacket Pride! 💜💛

A friend who seems a little different.
A student who has been keeping to themselves.
Someone who says, “I’m fine,” but doesn’t seem fine.
You don’t have to have all the answers. Sometimes the most important thing you can do is listen, take them seriously, and help connect them with someone who can help.
At Westville Public Schools, our Care Team is here for our students. That team includes our Social Work Department, School Counselor, CREOKS Counseling, and Administration. More info here: https://www.westville.k12.ok.us/page/family-support-center
If you or someone you know needs immediate support, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
Keep checking in. Keep listening. Keep showing up. You never know when it might matter most. 💜
